Isabella was dirty, so Karen gave her a good scrubbing… and wow, what a squirter. With soap, suds, and a whole lot of hose action, she got the decks gleaming and even gave the solar panels a good rub-down. Things got wet. Very wet.
Meanwhile, Steve wres...
Stitch and glue construction, this is the beginning - the stitching!
The dinghy is from CLC, Chesapeake Light Craft, the Tenderly 10 design:

Planking, bugs, dolphins, pelicans, bikini, shrimp, wine, butts and more.
We were attacked by tiny bugs. It was disgusting! Tried a zapper, sticky ribbon, and vacuuming, to no avail. Went cruising looking for wildlife. Saw some pelicans, needle fish, mana...
This week was doubling up, holes for a clamp. With tropical storm Nicole moving nearby, we added extra dock lines in preparation of some big blows. We have 1 5/8" stern rails. Since clamps of that size are hard to find off the shelf, it gave Steve an oppor...
The last plank... for now, anyway. This episode doesn't feature the whiskey plank, and Steve does a very good explanation for those who have been asking about the difference between a shutter plank and a whiskey plank. We've got four shutters, and like all...
The weather our here in western Massachusetts has been a bit wacky. Though colder days pushed off the possibility of gluing early in the season, we're now dealing with really hot days and thunderstorms—but that's not slowing us down as we scoot along pla...
The planking work is moving right along, but unfortunately Jack and Wes have to head home. We discuss the work that we got done as a team, then focus on the mizzen mast, which is also nearing completion.
Alix has been working on spot repairs with graving ...
Jack and Wes are back to do more work on Arabella. Wes's earlier visits involved stacking lumber and bending frames. Now he's back for a taste of planking and we hope he returns to help out with the interior.
Jack was a part of our planking crew last year,...
We're back to planking! We've asked some of our skilled friends to come back and help us get closer to closing up Arabella's hull. We have eight oak planks, a couple of cedar planks, and the black locust sheer strakes remaining for installation. After the ...
Lots going on here at the boathouse. It's time to put the taper in the top of the mast. Turns out there's a little bit more to that than just doing a straight taper. We'll be talking about a certain kind of taper as well as figuring out how to accommoda...
We decided to go racing. There were some delays and we got tired sailing waiting for the start. Once underway we held up our end of coming in last. Cakewalk rules, save the best for last, LOL. Karen kept up with her exercising by planking and also cleaned ...
This week we exercised and repaired our Jib. The UV cover stitching had come lose. We pulled it down and managed to fit it into the salon. This is when we whipped out our trusty Singer 237 sewing machine with UV coated V69 polyester thread. Although the Si...

In this installment we continue the battle with the brittle cedar planking and finally manage to get one fastened to the hull. Aaron tries his hand at fitting the stern of a cedar plank while Steve tackles the stem end and preps some black locust for butt...
As many of you may have deduced, our planned planking party did not go as planned at all. This was for many reasons but mainly due to the outbreak of COVID19 right as people were on their way here.
We had planned to take three weeks and get this great cr...
One of the things we appreciate so much about boatbuilding is that there are so many different ways to do things and so many things to learn. We have worked really hard to teach ourselves what we need to know in order to build Arabella. From studying in ...
Steve made the last oak plank! Yes, we know, we've said it before (and might say it again... haha). But we are planning for this to be the last full length oak plank we put on the hull.
After setting up our new planer with Joe and Grandpa, while I was...
In the last episode, we broke a plank. No big deal though, as with everything we've come up on in the project, the key is just finding a way forward. So we cut the broken end off of the plank and figured out a way to rig it so that we could steam the en...
Well... we broke a plank.
No worries though. We got it fixed and back on the boat. That's how we roll here... with the punches and not against them. We got a lesson in how far you can push a plank to bend and from now on will know what we can and can'...
Planking can be a long tedious process, especially when you are gluing up and fastening full length planks. We have gone into much of the details of how we are planking in previous videos, we now want to show some work being done without the interruption ...
We made our own 1/4 inch square copper rivets to hang Arabella's planks and we are now to the point where we actually get to use them! This is such an exciting time for us as we have planned and worked so hard to make these. We finally get to see the fru...
After our glue failure on the scarf joints for the planks, we also had some glue failure on the graving pieces. This time though, it was with a new and good batch of Resorcinol. So, we were not quite sure what the problem was at first.
We later realized ...
With a project like this, there are always going to be ups and downs. The key is trying to stay up beat and finding a way around the road bumps.
We've been greatly slowed down this summer by the work of figuring out the prop shaft assembly which has requi...
While we take a break from the prop shaft assembly to let Joe finish milling the Delrin liner and the other components, we get back to some planking.
As soon as the prop shaft assembly is installed in the stern post, we will be able to hopefully get moving...
Something AWESOME is coming!
